    Yes you do need to get a smaller belt and you need to have the proper supporting mods to keep your engine safe.

    AL 104's, Headers, or downpipe/plog or something let that thing breath man, some sort of CAI, be it Fender well Intake or right off the MAF, 180* thermostat, and also get some sort of scanner or someone who can scan for you to see how bad you are knocking if at all after all that, dropping a pulley is the last thing you should worry about until you get these done, Also with that GEN V blower on your 04+ I would personally ( i say this cause its what Im doing) would only got to a 3.5 at the most, maybe a 3.6 would be better just to be safe

    Well who ever told you that just wanted to see you get a new motor too, Like I said, Headers, Cold Air intake ( like you have is fine) Autolite 104's spark plugs, gap at .055, a cooler thermostat, 180 degrees is what most people run and they are just fine, Get someone who can scan your car for knock, and tune it, then after than you should be able to put a 3.5 or 3.6 on, the 3.4 with out cars, 04+ require atleast Rockers to help kill some of that KR, A car that has a Small pulley and a lot of knock can be a lot slower than a car with a larger pulley that is tuned correctly. hope this helps man

    Well you can do a Front Power Log, and a Down Pipe from ZZperformance.com much easier than headers, but limited as too how much you can do, Id say no more than a 3.5 pulley to be safe at that point even then that might be pushing it! Well have a good day!
